Our research shows that letter writing makes children feel happy and helps them express their feelings. Why not encourage them to do something for their wellbeing during #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek with our free letter-writing resource? https://t.co/HGvRUhgzbW #MyDearNewFriend

#TheBookofHopes is a free online book edited by Katherine Rundell. It celebrates resilience and positivity in our changing world. After reading Katherine's wonderful introduction, I put together a creative writing prompt so that our students can create their own Book of Hopes.

[Bloomsbury Kids & YA UK @KidsBloomsbury]

We're so excited to announce #TheBookofHopes, edited by Katherine Rundell! A joyous collection from over 110 children's authors and illustrators. Dedicated to our hospital workers, you can read it in full for FREE through @Literacy_Trust from Monday! ☀️ https://t.co/6DPFms2tCR

This week’s Home Study Tip of the Week is to find a quiet, dedicated room or space to study. Switch off anything which may cause a distraction. That means no facebook checking! Airline mode is your buddy here, and if you need a little added pressure to focus, a countdown timer.

Exciting! Take a look at this 👇 #UnitedByBooks

The @TheMisbourne Library is lucky enough to house some very creative students ordinarily. I have enjoyed reading your own stories, poems and lyrics. So here’s a resource for those that still want to write... #readersandwriters #writethebooksyouwanttoread #creativewriting

Audible is fantastic anyway, but now you can access children and teen audiobooks for free! Just had a quick look at the titles available for teens and it includes @ransomriggs @MeganNCPeterson @Karbohemia If that isn’t #WednesdayMotivation, I don’t know what is! #getlistening

Our library is sadly shut for the time being, but this is just a reminder of the reason libraries exist in the first place. We do what we do for the love of people. For the love of their stories. For the love of our readers. For the need to connect with others. #BooksConnectUs

Happy World Book Day! Happy first episode of Noughts + Crosses on BBC1 at 9pm day! Just have a happy day! 😄

This morning’s Year 7 assembly celebrated how important @TheMisbourne believes reading is.
Ms Weller, @MisbourneHead and Mrs Hallesy from Friends of The Misbourne handed out our #bookbuzz books to expectant students. It was lovely to hear the excitement; the buzz was palpable.

[The Misbourne Library @miz_library]

Congratulations to the top three (well, four) forms who have read the most over the last half term. Particularly proud, as I teach 7DOR and 7ASC! Keep up the good work my keen readers.

Not that we are competitive at all, but Mr Baxter and I won the First Aid General Knowledge quiz. #champions #winners #itsnotthewinning #itsthetakingpartthatcounts @TheMisbourne

[The Misbourne Library @miz_library]

🚨 Don’t panic! 🚨 Mr Baxter, Miss Popoola, Mrs Smith and I spent the last three days of term doing our first aid training.
We have grasped the recovery position, monitoring breathing and performing CPR. Hopefully we never have cause to use this but just in case... #BePrepared
